Pedestal Planter - Magnesium Oxide, Brown, Black
Product description
This large pedestal flowerpot is made from magnesium oxide (MGO) and shaped as a classic urn with a wide rim and stable square base. With a generous Ø 49 cm opening and a 72 cm height, it is designed to hold larger indoor plants and structured arrangements without needing a separate plant stand. The surface is finished in a muted brown-black tone with a deliberately aged patina, giving the piece a calm, timeworn character that works well in Scandinavian interiors that favour texture over shine.
The form references traditional baroque planters: a fluted cup, decorative banding at the rim and bowl, and a raised pedestal that lifts greenery to eye level. The slightly irregular, distressed finish creates depth and prevents the planter from feeling heavy, even at this size. MGO keeps the look of stone while remaining easier to handle than concrete or natural cast stone—practical when styling larger pots in the home.
Use it as a plant holder for statement foliage such as olive trees, ficus, bird of paradise, or a full fern arrangement. It also suits dried branches or seasonal styling when you want height and structure without clutter.

Why this product stands out
Many large planters rely on glossy glazes or smooth concrete surfaces. This design takes a different route: the MGO construction provides a stone-like feel, while the distressed finish softens the silhouette and helps it sit naturally alongside wood, linen, and muted ceramics. The pedestal base is not only decorative—it improves everyday use by raising the plant, making it easier to read the shape of the foliage and simplifying cleaning around the pot.
How it works in the home
Place the flowerpot where you need height and balance: beside a sofa, in a bright hallway corner, or on the floor near a dining area sideboard. Its classic profile pairs well with contemporary furniture because the colour stays restrained and the detailing is tonal rather than ornate. In open-plan spaces, it can also be used to visually mark a transition between zones—without adding another piece of furniture.
Details
- Surface: Matte, textured patina in brown-black with subtle variations that hide everyday marks
- Design: Urn-style bowl with decorative rim and pedestal foot; traditional proportions with a grounded base
- Planting tip: For indoor use, place a watertight liner or keep the plant in its nursery pot inside the urn to protect floors and make repotting easier
- Care: Wipe with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If used outdoors, shelter from prolonged frost and standing water to preserve the finish
A tasteful gift idea
A large planter is a practical gift for anyone who enjoys greenery but prefers a structured, finished look. The neutral brown-black tone and classic profile suit many homes, making it easy to give for housewarmings, weddings, or milestone birthdays—especially when paired with a well-chosen plant.
